PET SPOTLIGHT
Loretta
Loretta likes to sleep in cat beds and play quietly. Being a shy kitty, she is often overlooked by folks coming to adopt because they may not see her and she is not in the habit of seeking people out for attention. But beautiful Loretta is not to be missed! She is a friendly, gentle girl that minds her own business, and isn't demanding. Being a young girl she still has her curious kitten nature and is thrilled to find small coil toys that she can bat around endlessly. Loretta and her sibs came to the shelter as kittens and one by one got adopted, leaving Loretta still looking for the right person. This sweet girl needs a special person that understands shy, cautious kitties and will let her adjust to a new home slowly and love her on her own terms. Perhaps that's you?
Description: White, dark grey, black. Easy to care for short coat.
Age: approx 3 years of age.
Likes: Playing with small coil toys. Having her neck scratched and face petted.
Needs: Probably needs a quiet home with no small children. She currently doesn’t like a lot of handling and is not really a snuggler. However, may blossom into a social cat with the right family.
Becky
Becky is a sweet, shy, pretty girl about two-years old. She has a soft, calico coat with lots of white, dark orange and black coloring. She was pregnant with at least her third litter when tamed and brought to the shelter to be fostered until she had her kittens. With her little ones weaned, she’s ready for a real forever home now. Becky is a bit skittish, but is a sucker for a good chin scratching. Her tail was broken at least twice, so the nerves are understandable. She likes small toys to bat around and a flat scratching pad to work her claws. Given her shyness, she would probably do best in a quieter household. Becky eats what she’s given, but prefers dry Hill’s Science Diet.
Brian
UPDATE-Adopted! Brian is a handsome 7 month old male kitty. He has a fluffy brown and black coat with white fur on his face, neck and paws. The fur on his tail is long and the rest of his body more medium in length. He will need regular brushing to remain tangle free. Brian is a very loving boy that likes to cuddle and sleep with his people. He also likes to watch videos on your phone with you and will swipe at the screen. He is active and playful and enjoys a variety of toys. Brian arrived with sibling, Leo, and is a little nervous in this new environment, but volunteers help them feel more comfortable every day.
CC
CC is a young male kitty about 2-3 years old who is front declawed. He has a silky, short haired coat in a handsome light buff color. CC was found abandoned outside our shelter, so we don’t know his circumstances, but we do know he is a super sweetheart and would make a fabulous friend. CC is a curious, playful, sweet kitty that wants a family he can love and be loved by and kept safe indoors.
Cloud
UPDATE-Trying out a home for a week! Cloud is a sweet, male, gray and white kitten about 4 ½ months of age. He has a short- haired coat with large sections of gray and white. He and brother, Speckles, look very similar, except Cloud has a ‘side part’ – a gray splash of color over one side of his forehead and Speckles has a ‘center part’ with gray over both ears/forehead. Cloud has a pink nose, dark tail and curious eyes. Cloud and 4 littermates arrived unwanted, filthy and distressed, but are now safe, clean and comfortable! He’s a little cautious right now but warming up with attention.
Dreamsicle
UPDATE-Trying out a home for a week! Dreamsicle is a female tabby kitten about 4 ½ months of age. Her short- haired coat is mostly white, with light tan- orange markings and a darker golden tail. Dreamsicle has a cute, pixielike face with a pink nose and golden eyes. She and 4 littermates arrived unwanted, filthy and distressed, but are now safe, clean and comfortable! Dreamsicle adores attention, loves getting petted and cuddled and will make a wonderful companion.
Emerald
Emerald is a tabby female about 1 ½ years of age. She has a short haired coat in tan & brown with black striping throughout her fur. She has long white whiskers and a hint of green in her pretty eyes. Emerald and another kitty were left at the shelter when the owner was notified she had too many animals. Both were pregnant, underweight for mom cats, and wearing dirty collars that had worn grooves in their neck fur. Both went to a foster home for TLC until the kittens were born.
Emerald is a sweet, loving cat who is desperate for the cuddles that she probably rarely got. She is smart, even natured and, having weaned her one live-born kitten (three others weren’t developed enough to survive) is ready for a REAL, forever home.
She likes any wet food flavor except beef and dry food is good, too. She mostly wants to be by someone but will play with wand or ribbon toys and things she can bat around. Her soft, brown tabby coat will need periodic light brushing or gloving to remain shiny and healthy.
Emily
UPDATE-Adopted! Emily is a sweet gray and white kitty who has been front declawed. Her soft short haired coat is a darker gray color with white on her neck, legs, underside and a triangle of it over her nose and mouth. Emily is a 13 year old kitty that is extremely affectionate and loves everyone! She also has a fondness for treats! She will enjoy snuggle time, petting time and a gentle brushing perhaps once a week would be great. Emily is ready to settle into her forever retirement home where, of course, she will be only staying safe indoors.
Gemma
Gemma is approximately 9 years of age. A soft, medium coated Tabby. She's a lovely grey colored cat with expressive facial markings. Gemma is quiet and keeps to herself in the cat room, but welcomes a bit of attention. She likes to be brushed and petted, but for a short time. Gemma may not be best for young kids at this point, but probably waiting for the right family to show her love and bring out her social side. (approx DOB 11/1/16)
Hoppy
Hoppy is a male, orange, tabby kitty about a year and 3 months old. He has a fluffy long-haired tail and a solid orange colored body with darker stripes on his face and white accenting his mouth and eyes. His coat will benefit from regular brushing/combing- at least a few times a week- to remain tangle free. Hoppy got his name from the slight limp he has when he walks. He was born with his feet turned in, but they self corrected and he doesn’t let it hold him back. He is a little shy yet, but enjoying attention from our volunteers and is a sweetheart. He’s a bit of a ‘talker’ as well! Hoppy arrived as a family of 5 all looking for loving forever homes. DOB March 2024

Both were pregnant, underweight for mom cats, and wearing dirty collars that had worn grooves in their neck fur. Both went to a foster home for TLC until the kittens were born. Jade is a sweet, talkative cat who is desperate for the cuddles that she probably rarely got. She is active, even natured and ready for a REAL, forever home.

She was staying under the porch of a kind woman that cared for her until she could find her safety in our shelter. Julie had been spayed by her previous people, thankfully. She doesn’t seem to mind the other cats. Her coat will require regular brushing/combing to remain tangle free.

She enjoys having her face petted and neck scratched. Sweet Loretta needs a special person that understands shy, cautious kitties and will let her adjust to a new home slowly and love her on her own terms.
